This paper selects the long-term coordinate series data of 671 International GNSS Service (IGS) reference stations distributed globally under the framework of World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) from 2000 to 2021. Different noise model combinations are used for noise analysis, and the optimal noise model for each station before and after hydrologic loading correction is calculated. The results show that the noise models of global IGS reference stations are diverse, and each component has different optimal noise model characteristics, mainly white noise + flicker noise (WN+FN), generalized Gauss\u2013Markov noise (GGM) and white noise + power law noise (WN+PL). Through specific analysis between the optimal noise model and the time series velocity of the station, it is found that the maximum influence value of the vertical velocity can reach 1.8 mm when hydrological loading is considered. Different complex noise models also have a certain influence on the linear velocity and velocity uncertainty of the station. Among them, the influence of white noise + random walking noise is relatively obvious, and its maximum influence value in the elevation direction can reach over 2 mm\/year. When studying the impact of hydrological loading correction on the periodicity of the coordinate series, it is concluded whether the hydrological loading is calculated or not, and the GNSS long-term coordinate series has obvious annual and semi-annual amplitude changes, which are most obvious in the vertical direction, up to 16.48 mm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13030431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]],"date-time":"2021-01-26T12:03:57Z","timestamp":1611662637000},"page":"431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Analysis and Discussion on the Optimal Noise Model of Global GNSS Long-Term Coordinate Series Considering Hydrological Loading"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yuefan","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GNSS Research Center, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1271-7968","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guigen","family":"Nie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GNSS Research Center, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center for Geospatial Information Technology, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuguang","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GNSS Research Center, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiyang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GNSS Research Center, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2342","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1065328","article-title":"A new global mode of Earth deformation: Seasonal cycle detected","volume":"294","author":"Blewitt","year":"2001","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"B03412","DOI":"10.1029\/2003JB002741","article-title":"Error analysis of continuous GPS position time series","volume":"109","author":"Williams","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
